WHAT AN ORANGE PEEL DGD.-So small ca use
as an orange peel thrown by careless hand upon
the pavement, brought recently grief and anguish
to the relatives and acquaintances Of young
rnsrried lady in Paris. Madame Bellormarye was
highly gifted and widely esteemed, She was 90.
ing to see one of her friends when an orange peel
caused her to slip and fall with such violence that
She died soon after from tho effects. In the no.
tice of her painful death and the tribulation it
caused in an ahectionate circle, an editor con-
cluded the obituary with begging people not to
throw fruit rinds on the public way, and when
such things are seen, for humanity sake, re-
move them to where they cannot do any HARM
"Do not. ne says, ''go thoughtlessly along and
leave what may bring to the next passer broken
limb. or death perhaps, or may even await your
own foot on your return" Mere shynesS often
6eters youDg persons from doing the good they
would ike to DO, but we would say to any, OLD or
young, 1t is small service to remove, with toot

sidewalk, and any sensible person who sees you
do it viii credit goa with heart-and an active

Attentions 10 Hiss Lee.

Miss Mildred Lees stay in Washington
has been rendered very pleasant by sue.
cession of handsome lunch aud dinner par
ties givso 10 her honor. IS mentioned in
the GAZETTE at the time, after Mrs. Fol.
sons recent reception, Miss Lee, by special
invitation, drove out to Oak View with Mr..
Coreoran. and luuched with Mrs and Miss
Cleveland aud the ladies who had assisted
Mrs Folsom iG receiving during the morn
ing. 4 Washington correspondent writes ::
"In speaking with 6 friend the other day
shout Miss Lees strong, handsome face. and
her abundant suit Of iron-gray hair, she re-
lated funny incident which had come
within her experience during the late war
while staying at one of the old Virginia
bomesteads, where, for the time being, Miss
Lee had sought shelter. At that time the
hair now so weil mixed with gray was OF
the tint which Titan loved 10 paint. One
morning the household vas aroused with
the news that the Northern troops we're rap
idly approaching, and, indeed, in less than
half an hour, the courtyard was tiled with
soldiers, WHO. having been told that Miss
Lee was theu staying at the house, clamored
loudly for . sight Of her. Her presence
at the place was, of course, stoutly
denied at frss, but TO 10 avail, as the
soldiers loitered about bent upon obtaining
the coveted glimpse Within doors conster.
nation reigned supreme, for the household
was at thai time composed entirely Of wo
men. Oae old lady became so alarmed ut
she presence CT toe so,diery that she vent
iuto vioient fit Of Mysteries. At this, Miss
Lee, forgeyful of the danger which might
h.4ve ensued TO herself, rushed down stairs
and INTO the Kitchen for some remedies. As
she PASSED Il window aa which one o! the
soldiers was eagerly peering through, he
recognized her and shouted TO MS comrades:
Here, hoys; come look here's the red.
headed daughter CT the rebel general!'
Quick as a fash, she turned, and, advanc-
lag 10 the door threw It vide open, as she
glanced defanty al them, saying: III BY
the term rebel general you mean General
Lee, am proud ct the fact That l an his
daughter. but my hair is not red. :" AS may
be imagined, her courage and spirit were
heartily appreciated by the boys in blue,
who greeted her speech with three rousing
eheers, and then, lifting their hats respect
fully, retired, making merry over the little
eDieode as they went"
